Timo Lassy - When the Saxophone Returns

Schedule:
17:00 Doors open
18:00 When the Saxophone Returns - film (directed by Petri Luukkainen, English subtitles)
19:30 Intermission (only concert ticket holders may enter at this point)
20:00 Timo Lassy Band

The evening consists of two parts: a film starting at 18:00 and a concert starting at 20:00. Directed by Petri Luukkainen, this documentary blends music film and portrait - it follows saxophonist Timo Lassy as he grapples with aging and life's transformations. "What makes me happy as a person and an artist?" Lassy asks himself. The film traces his preparations for a concert at Loviisa Church, and moments of self-reflection reveal that this seasoned professional, who has toured the world, sometimes doubts himself.

The documentary is followed by a concert from Timo Lassy Band:

Timo Lassy - saxophone
Georgios Kontrafouris - keyboards
Antti Lötjönen - bass
Abdissa "Mamba" Assefa - percussion
Okko Saastamoinen - drums
